It is generally recommended to service your dryer at least once a year to keep it in good working condition and prevent potential safety hazards. However, the frequency of service may depend on factors such as the age of the dryer, the frequency of use, and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Here are some signs that indicate it’s time to service your dryer:
The dryer takes longer than usual to dry clothes.
The dryer makes unusual noises or vibrates excessively during operation.
The dryer emits a burning smell.
The dryer drum or door is difficult to open or close.
The dryer is not producing heat.
The lint filter or exhaust vent is clogged with lint.
Regular dryer maintenance includes cleaning the lint filter after each use, checking the exhaust vent for clogs, and periodically cleaning the dryer drum and exhaust ducts. It’s also a good idea to have a professional technician service your dryer once a year to check for any potential safety hazards and ensure that it is operating efficiently.
